One time travelling automobile, cleverly built by a mad scientist and operated by an intrepid young man. One deceased primate that may or may not have been famous. One of them was sold at auction, one the subject of controversy. What do they have in common? Um, nothing, really… except that both get caught in the conversational […]
Why Tim Burton’s Batman Still Holds Up (And May Still Be the Best Version)
Posted: 28th December 2011 by Dion in Comic Books, Film, Film Review, Up on The Soap BoxLast night I watched an old favorite of mine, which I was ecstatic to discover had aged like a fine wine, not like an old can of skunked beer. I hadn’t seen it in probably 15 years and had my doubts. Luckily, it held up just fine, and definitely gave the recent “re-visioning” of the franchise a […]

Tippit, Peter Lorre, Surgery, Sylvester Stallone, Terrorists, The Dark Knight Rises, The Lost Bullet
The three amigos break new ground, exploring the JFK assassination and Ed and Keenan Wynn; then digress into such normalities as vintage comic book stores, 80’s action movies and the out-of-date Eastern European Terrorist plot device, before rounding out the chat with hand surgery and good old Grover and John Wayne Gacy references. Fun for […]

With all the buzz surrounding Zack Snyder’s new Superman film “The Man of Steel”, it’s almost amazing that we haven’t seen any actual footage yet. The excitement from the studio seems almost palpable. The first still of Henry Cavill as Superman hit the net and polarized the audience. Half of the public felt at long […]

Final Fantasy Film Follow-up
Posted: 16th December 2011 by Brian in FilmTags: Errata, Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within
Hi, everyone. Well, we Podwits are nothing if not self-correcting. In our last podcast I spoke somewhat ill of the 2001 film Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, voicing my theory, based on the film’s apparent lack of relation to the vaunted Final Fantasy video game series, that Square (the production company) had produced a fairly independent science-fiction […]
